Silent Witness, season 29

Viewers on IMDb are raving about this show, calling it a “must-see” and a great piece of British television – it’s definitely worth revisiting! Plus, things are changing for the Silent Witness team, as they move to a new, state-of-the-art forensic center in Birmingham.

What to Read Next

Though Dr. Nikki (Emilia Fox) and her team are facing some changes, viewers can still expect the compelling and realistic crime investigations that have always been a hallmark of the show.

The show is also introducing some new actors this season, including Chris Reilly (known for Slow Horses), Ben Batt (Riot Women), and Dino Fetscher (Fool Me Once).

Season 29 of Silent Witness will begin airing on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer starting Monday, February 2nd.

Betrayal

ITV’s thriller, Betrayal, follows MI5 agent John Hughes (Shaun Evans). His life is thrown into chaos when a secret meeting with an informant about a UK-based plot goes horribly wrong.

ITV promises the new series will be a gripping thriller, delving into the complex and delicate connections between people.

Betrayal also stars Nikki Amuka-Bird as well as Beyond Paradise‘s Zahra Ahmadi.

Betrayal is available to watch from Sunday 8 February at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.


The Lincoln Lawyer, season 4

Fans want to know what is going to happen to Mickey, after the events of the season three finale.

This popular Netflix series puts a lawyer in the unusual position of being on trial himself, with a lot riding on the outcome. The first season, consisting of 10 episodes, is adapted from Michael Connelly’s sixth Lincoln Lawyer novel, ‘The Law of Innocence’.

The Lincoln Lawyer, season 4 is available to watch from Thursday 5 February on Netflix.

Copper

This detective series is full of suspense, corruption, and secrets. Set in New York City in 1864, Copper centers around Kevin Corcoran (Tom Weston-Jones), a tough Irish-American police detective.

I’m totally hooked on how his drive to find the truth and get justice keeps colliding with his desire to help the people struggling in Five Points. It’s like he can’t just solve the mystery – he has to help those who are hurting along the way, and it makes the story so much more compelling!

Copper is available to watch on Wednesday 4 February on U.

The latest issue of Living Legends, a vibrant 100-page tribute to Taylor Swift, is now available! You can purchase it at newsstands or online for only £8.99.
